Assault Armies conquering Japan!

The biggest and most developed game of the Krakow developer
– Bloober Team S.A. has its première in Japan today.
Assault Armies was specially designed for the new SONY
console – PlayStation Vita. The video game met with a warm
response from the Asian media.

The début of the game was preceded by an intensive
marketing campaign conducted by the Bloober Team’s Japanese
partner – Kemco [Kotobuki Solutions]. The production has
already been described by the most popular directories, including
the prestigious weekly
Famitsu, which granted the
Assault Armies with an annotation “
Famitsu recommends”. In the last days, the
promotional activity has even speeded up, which resulted in huge
interest in the title among the Japanese players even before its
première.

Assault Armies is not a game for everyone. You can define
it as a platform logic game, which is held in a specific, sort of
old school, climate. The authors intended to create a
title which would satisfy the needs of players enjoying to spend
long hours on making out the best way to beat a level. It is easy
to notice the inspiration with such titles as
Lost Vikings or
Lemmings. The target group are those who recall with
fondness the productions which were something more than just
showing off the graphic skills. Surely, the
Assault Armies will rather raise interest of the true
players than the interest of fans of the simple arcade games, which
are now dominant on the market. Bloober Team resisted the temporary
trends and fashions and bet on intelligent and absorbing
entertainment.

Before launching the product on the market, the game was
carefully verified during closed beta tests. The results of the
marketing research were extremely satisfactory – the players
liked the
Assault Armies.

The newest product of the Krakow developer is the first title
that fits in the new strategy of the company. Bloober Team is going
to make use of the gained experience and the developed technology
in creating next productions of this type – the highest
quality 2D video games.

Assault Armies is available in digital distribution via
the Sony PSN network and costs 1980 yens (app. 20 Euro). The
European and more developed version of the game entitled
A-men will be available in digital distribution from 22
February, i.e. on the première day of PS Vita in this
region. The price of
A-men has not been established yet.
